Install Scribus 1.5 On Ubuntu 14.10

Question

All HOWTOs I found how to install scribus 1.5 are only for Ubuntu 14.04 or 15.04, but on 14.10 I cannot find the package scribus-trunk in the ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scribus/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scribus-trunk

How do I install scribus-trunk on Ubuntu 14.10?

Answer 1

The packet scribus-trunk doesn't seem to be in the 14.10 ppa repository, but you can install the 14.04 ppa:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scribus/ppa
sudo sed -i s/utopic/trusty/g /etc/apt/sources.list.d/scribus-ubuntu-ppa-utopic.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scribus-trunk

Note:
On High resolution screens you need to start scribus-trunk with a resollution switcher

Answer 2

Now scribus-trunk is no longer available for 14.04, but you can install the scribus-ng package to download scribus 1.5.2:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:scribus/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install scribus-ng
